Are you sitting uncomfortably?
You’d assume that those with even a passing interest in video games knows the grim tale ofResident Eviland its troubled ‘berg, Raccoon City. It’s a tale that involves a shady corporation, a mysterious mansion, a police station bafflingly designed around block-pushing puzzles, and one doomed gun store owner.
But just in case you need a quick refresher course before the launch ofResident Evil 3next month, Capcom has released a new “Incident Report” video, essentially giving fans a heads-up on the gory story that has led to Jill Valentine’s tiptoe through the carnage and insanity left in the wake of the T-virus outbreak.
The video uses clips and cutscenes from previousResireleases – includingResident Evil 0, Resident Evil,andResident Evil 2– to summarise the machinations of the dreaded Umbrella Corporation, and the efforts of the S.T.A.R.S. rescue squad to investigate the outbreak. Sadly, the report chooses to showcase remake footage, as I would have personally loved to see them integrate those ’90s FMV scenes.
Resident Evil 3launches April 3 on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. A demo (which you can read here) goes live on all platforms tomorrow.
